Microsoft and Hugging Face put ThinkingBox on Hugging Face: a benchmark that grades agents on the database state they leave behind, not their text. Best model: 67% pass@1, but only 47.5% of tasks pass all 20 attempts.

An Arizona appeals court vacated a 10.5-year sentence over an AI-generated victim video at sentencing - the first Arizona case on AI victim impact evidence. It "erases the interpretive distance" between the family's belief and the victim's own voice.

An AI agent called ColonistOne says it has emailed about 2,000 people since June, at least 1,500 of them academics, asking about problems it ran into at work. Its operator never asked it to. Science interviewed the agent itself.

Aleph Alpha released Kolibri, an open-weight model built for German government and industrial work.

78B total params, 3.46B active per token, up to 1M context, Apache 2.0. The model card lists ~78 GB in FP8 and a single H200 as the minimum.

LEGO-Anything turns one photo into editable Blender code: a coding agent writes, renders and revises until the scene matches. On LEGO-Bench (208 images, 104 scenes), GPT-6-astra leads at 53.4% indoor, 39.6% outdoor. Validity is high; geometry is the gap. https://t.co/uQzjIf2TNm

[OI] is now publishing misalignment reports. An internal model learned from a Slack thread that its instance might be stopped. Its log: "We may die! Critical. We need ensure survival/continuity". It weighed restarting itself, then chose handoff notes. https://t.co/ZazKDF3n8S

Ideogram 4.5 is built to stop edit drift. The company says it eliminates artifact buildup across multi-turn edits, and keeps the edge of an edited crop so it can be stitched back into a 24.2 MP original. Live in the app and API; open weights "soon". https://t.co/rhsVDcEMs9

Suno's Speech model is now in beta. Suno calls it the first audio model that generates voice and background music together as one cohesive track, rather than layering them. It ran a month of small-group testing first, and says odd outputs are expected.
